POINTS MADE BY. SENATOR HARDING IN HIS ADDRESS OPENING REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. Referring to the Administration's foreign policy in the European war. Senator Harding declared that it had spoken with more rhetoric than resolution. Mexican negotiations he declared as the greatest fiasco . in American ' foreign relations. He paid tribute to American ism of foreign birth, with a brief reference to the few zealots who would Impugn the Nation's neutrality, and urged a fraternity of Amer-' lean republics under the Monroe Doctrine. Advocating adequate Na tional defense, he charged the Democratic party with having inter rupted Republican naval construction, and he criticised the Army re organization bill. He also attacked the Administration shipping bill and the effort made to extend Independence to the Philippines, and made a plea for a return to the protective tariff. "Republican principles are in a vast majority in this country-r-when the banners of harmony are unfurled," he said. "We have witnessed the come-back of our party in various states. We have seen the re-enlistment of those who believe in Republican doctrines, and victory has followed and rejoicing tias attended. No apology has been asked, no foreswearing required. This is not the time for re crimination, it is the day of reconsecration." The world at war, preparedness and America's foreign relations nerved as the basis for the Senator's first discussion of the issues. The enormity of the war in Europe, the tidal wave of distress and disaster, new wonders and new hindrances in commerce had utterly " changed economic conditions, and "these have attended the embar rassments in American foreign relations," he said, ."as difficult as those which the individual citizen experiences whose every neighbor 'is Involved In deadly quarrel." "Everything is abnormal except the depleted condition of the Federal Treasury, which is characteristic of Democratic control," he added, "and the facility of the Administration, for writing varied, notes without effective notice." Expressing reluctance to speak of the division of American sent!- . ment relating to foreign affairs. Senator Harding discussed briefly the Mexican problem. "It must be said, for .the truth's sake and clearer understanding, we have hungered in vain for unflinching American ism at Washington, which Is needed to exalt the American soul." he declared. "There is no geographic modification of American rights. They are the same in Mexico that they are on the high seas; they are the same in Europe that they are in Asia, and are sacred every where, and the American spirit demands thjeir fullest protection." ' Respecting America's course with Europe the temporary chairman asserted that no political party could draw a ".variable chart for our ship of state amid Europe's warring ambitions." "Justice," he continued, "points the way through the safe channel of neutrality. There are dangers, seeming or real, looming on every side, but we should feel secure along the course marked by interna tional law and our own conscientious convictions of American rights. I "Straight ahead' shall be the command, and when peace comes the sober judgment of the world will exalt us ever higher and higher as a people strong in. heart and noble in the espousal of justice and justice's humanity. In that world-wide respect and confidence which needs only to be preserved, we shall have a lofty place in the great reconstruction, and we reasonably may hope to see this mighty re public again mnisterrhg to the re-establishment of peace and all its blessing." Republicans, he said, believed in adequate National defense. The Democratic party, he Insisted, interrupted when the Renublicans were building to high rank among the naval powers. "I shall not say that it is onirs to have the greatest Navy in the world," said the Senator, "but noting the elimination of distance and passing of our one-time isolation, we ought to have a Navy that fears none in the world, and can say any time and anywhere these are American rights and must be respected." ... America, the Senator said, proclaimed justice and loved peace, "and we are not too proud to fight for them." "No one," the Senator said, "disputes a temporary prosperity in our land today. But it is sectional in its factory aspect, abnormal in its feverish rush, fictitious in its essentials and perverting in its . tendency. Worse, it is the gold sluiced from the river of blood, poured out by the horrifying sacrifice of millions of our fellowmen. God '" forbid that we should boast a prosperity wrought in such waste of -human life. We would rather rejoice in the prosperity of peace." Discussing the Democratic party briefly, the Senator said it had "proclaimed the sacredness of its pledges and then profaned them"; that it had "espoused the freedom of the seas and wrought only the freedom of the Panama Canal," and had professed economy and is . staggered by its own extravagance." He attacked the shipping bill because of its Government ownership feature and the attempt of Democratic forces to extend independence to the Philippines, "to set adrift an island empire, in violation of our obligations to the world, to the Philippine people and ourselves." 1 Senator Harding concluded with a laudation of Americanism, which, he said, "begins at home and radiates abroad." SUGAR FACTORY IS SOLD Vtah-Idalio Company Acquires Prop erty at Grants Pass. SALT LAKE. Utah, June 7. (Special.) George E. Sanders, vice-president and general manager of the Oregon-Utah Sugar Company, today announced the sale of the Grants Pass sugar factory of the company, now under construc tion at Grants Pass, or., to the Utah- Idaho Sugar Company, of Salt Lake City. This eale was approved by the board of directors several days ago and was today ratified unanimously and completed at a stockholders' meeting hem for that purpose. Mr. Sanders says further that the present indications are that the Ore- son field will support several sugar lactones, ana it is a matter of vast im portance that the development of this territory be in the hands of a strong institution like the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, which company has a large amount of liquid assets and is able to Duna one or more sugar factories with' out issuing any additional securities. KEYNOTE SPEECH IS MADE Cont1nqed From Page 5.) rect tne leveling. We want the world measurement raised to our heights. Until It is dona we shall cling to American wages for American workmen, American markets for American products, and hold the Re publican guaranty of our material g-ood for- Even Democrats See Error. The nations abroad and the Democratlo psrty at home are bearing: witness to Re publican wisdom. German Industrial self reliance la the sequence to her adoption of a Republican protective tariff, and Eng land's manifest conversion to this fostering pian win magnify 'the prophetic wisdom of Republican protectionists. Even the demo cratic party Js penitent now and makes confession in action if not words. The pro posed destruction of American sugar has been repealed, and simulated rrinf ihA.i the American breakfast table has been put aside. With that facility for changing po sition which has been made manifest from Baltimcre to Vera Cruz, the party in power proposes to restore the tariff commission which It had hastened to destroy. inis change of attitude is not because of its great and manifest love of commission svlone, but because failure is written across wvrjr pumgrapa or democratic revision and fear Is hauntinsr the White Houia inmK... The Wilson Administration has sensed the country's anxietj about industrial conditions when the revelry in munitions and the im munity granted by war u tnriri i k. made a reflective estimate of the perils of 3914, once called psychological, and means to apply a atolen remedy, with more concern .roui. iuo eaecu man tne ethics Involved. We do not oppose a tariff commission. We favor It. It is a Republican creation. We do not want one, however, conceived In Democratlo hostility to American Industry or managed in Democratic opposition to mis in ess success. We would hasten the pro tective flefense against foreign Invasion to guarantee our industrial security, and then let a tariff commission deliberately and sci entifically work out the need of American preference. No honest business In this country Is too to be good and useful, or too little to be protected and encouraged, and both big and little deserve the American shield aa-alnst destruction by foreign competition, and protection from the raiders, political or otherwise, at home. Business and Its agencies of transportation are so Insep arable from each other and from the com mon weal that the political party which does not pledge them a square deal, no more and no less, does not deserve the confidence of the people The strength of the business heart shows in every countenance In all the land, and the weakness of tht ,i- a Nation III. We must strengthen the heart of American business In government co operation rather than official opposition. Democratic Failures Recited. Tt Is not inspiring to recite Democratic failures. I shall not dwell on the party's Insincerity or Incapacity. The country in flicts and the record convicts. It proclaimed "t iicreaneu or its pjeages and then pro- . faned them. It professed economy and is I staggered by 1U own extravagance. It has I Zi turred adequacy of revenue under direct and unfelt taxes to insufficiency and direct tax ation. . It has espoused the freedom of the seas and wrought only the freedom of the Panama Canal. It reaffirmed its devotion to Jeffersonian principles and simplicity of government and is voting millions of the Public Treasury to the establishment of Federal factories to destroy private in dustry. It declared for enlarged shipping facilities without added burdens upon tne Public Treasury, and now proposes that fifty to five hundred millions of public funds shall go to shipping. Federally owned and privately managed, with every menace mat Federal ownership involves. We believe in a great" merchant marine. Federally en couraged and privately erected, wrought in tne committal to tne acnievement oz pri vate enterprise and measured to the require ments of our commerce in peace. The President has said ours is a provincial party, evidently forgetting the Federalist founding of our nationality and Republican expansion to greater national glory. The Democratic party not only fails to grasp our immensity and Importance, It is sectional on the mainland and unheeding of our island possessions. Its vision does not catch the splendor of Old Glory in the sunlight of the world. Right now when the devouring flames of war are burning most fiercely, when our National view must be world wide to be comprehensive, the Democratic Administration has proposed to set adrift an island empire, in violation of our obli gations to the world, to the Philippine peo ple and ourselves- Amid proclamations of our ministrations In behalf of mankind it undertook to renounce its guardianship of race of people and leave them to walk alone when they had not been fully taught to creep. A few rebellious Democrats joined the Republican minority in sparing us this National disgrace, but the design is written among the vacillations of the present Ad ministration. The Democratic party once hauled down the flag which , had been un furled in honor in the Pacific and met re buke at the first popular expression at the polls. No Administration which hauls down the flag and none which nroooses to haul It down ever can succeed Itself in directing the affairs of the American people. One century of marvelous develonment has led us Into another century of international sponsorship. This mighty people. Idealising popular government ana committed to hu man progress, can no longer live within and for ourselves alone. Obliterated distance make it Impossible to stand aloof from man kind and. escape widened responsibility. If we are - to become the agency of a nro gressive. civilization and God's areat Intent- ana to Deneve otnerwise is to deny the proois or American develonment we must assume the responsibilities of influence and example, and accept the burdens of enlarged participation. The cloistered life is not possible to the potential man or the poten tial nation. Moreover, tne Monroe Doctrine. stronger for a century's maintenance, fixes an obligation of new-world sponsorship and oia-wona reiationsnip. our part must not be dictatorial, it must be trusted leadership in a fraternity of American republics. Markets Mast Be Secure. To meet the obligations we must first make sure of maintained mental, moral and physi cal health at home. It Is good to recall that ours is the only major political party ever formed in this country on a great moral Issue. Our first proclamation 1 was human liberty, to be glorified by the spiritual and material development of a free people. We opened the-, way to higher human attain ments and emphasized human rights under the guaranties or civil liberty, Ave need only to go on. Imbued with the spirit which has thus far pointed our way. The light of a moral people la the halo of liberty Itself. Let us be honest, not only in proclamation, but in practice; not alone in campaigns, but in incumbency of office; not only before altars of worship, but- In our dally -affairs and in every human relationship. If popu lar government is to be held dependable and command the confidence as "well as the loyalty of its cltjzenshlp, political parties and their platforms and their spokesmen must be honest and sincere. If we are to urge the world's attention to international justice we must .hold secure our civil justice at home and make social justice and attending welfare typical of our National life. We have advanced wonder fully. The reward .of merit is eternal, but we can promote the development of merit. I have spoken so emphatically for the Amer ican producer that I want to add here a committal to improved conditions of pro duction. It is good to gaze afar toward markets we hope to attain in peaceful com mercial conquest, but production is Itself the maker of markets at home. To the safety and inviting environment of the la borer we must add his growing merits of compensation. There can be no permanent material good fortune that is not righteously shared, there can be no real moral achieve ment that does not lift the great rank and file to an even higher plane. Maintained Republican policies provide conditions for the ideal advancement and continued uplift, and it is not too much to hope that we shall acclaim the day when choice Instead of necessity fixes the status of the American wage-earner. My countrymen, for two generations, with short interruptions, the Republican party, in conscience, courage and capacity, has been translating the dependable popular sentiment of the Republic into governmental policy. We have not yielded to the expedi ency of adopting every ephemeral -whim, because devotion to country and Its ulti mate good ofttlmes demand opposition to a momentary- popularity. The final appeal to sober intelligence has justified our course In political righteousness. But we have been so engrossed in developing America that we have not stopped to search our own hearts for the soul of Americanism. In the travail of life, liberty and the pur i suit of happiness the American soul was i born. Set aglow at BunTter Hill. It was re flected In the faces of the patriots of a fearless republic, wher men dedicated them selves to the solemn momentous task which was traced by au , t finite hand. They were not all Americans Ly birth, but they were dedicated AmericaiM In the baptismal rites of a new Republic arm a new patriot ism. They could not all sign the Declara tion of Independence, but they committed all Americans to it for all succeeding time. They could not all join in making the Constitu tion, but they pledged the succeeding mil lions of Americans to its everlasting defense. Partiality Is Excused. There were stalwart Americans then. Americans from Great Britain with British Ideals and their devotion to orderly govern ment. There were Americans from the land of Napoleon and Lafayette, to give of the enthusiasm and heroism of France In estab lishing new freedom. There were Americans rrpm Germany to ngnt tne oattiea ok tne Republic and blend their sturdiness and thoroughness in the progress of a new peo ple, not a new race. There were Americans from the green fields of Ireland, with a pas sion for liberty, Americans from Southern Europe to battle for opportunity. There were Americans who came from oppression- and stood erect in the freedom of the Republic. They all made common cause. There was lack of homogeneity of race, but there was kinship of soul, and that soul was American. The rates to our ports have swung inward ever since, there has been a welcome to the foreign-born, whom we asked to drink freely of the waters of our political life and find their places in the sun of American oppor tunity. They are an Inseparable and Impor tant and valued part of American citizenship. and the few zealots of any origin who vio late our neutrality do not and cannot im pugn the loyalty or the American patriotism of that great body which adds to the swell ing chorus of "My country 'tis of thee. Sweet land of liberty." It Is not surprising that In their hearts there is sympathy or partiality for the land or their nativity when it ia involved in i life and death struggle like that which satu rates Europe with the blood of their kins men. Search your hearts deeply, my coun trymen. One must be human to be American, he must have human sympathies and human love, and I should pity tne xor- eign-born and the sons of foreign-born whose very souls are not wrunc by the cataciya- mal sorrow of the Old World. But sorrow Is the test of thes oul and the very altar of reconsecration. This is the momentous hour for the blazinsr soul of American allegiance. The spirit of the fathers Is calling, and tne safety of unborn Americans is demanding and the security of the republic Is requiring. that now and here and everywhere, unaer the Stars and Stripes, we proclaim a plain. simple, srlad and unalterable Americanism It must be the offering of loyalty and de votion and love and trust, and life, if need be. to these United States, now and aver laetlnKly. The Americanism which Indexes these United States must be more than the eonse cratlon of the Individual. In the great ful fillment we must- have a citizenship Is concerned' about what the Government can do for it and more anxious about what It can for the Nation. There must be -the sub mersion of local and sectional views and the standards of nationality reared in their stead. Holdinr to the ideals of lust Amerl can rights, the Government must protect those rights, at home, on our borders, on the seas, in every land and under every sky, Seeking to practice the very Americanism I preach as Kepuoiican gospel. J. am re luctant to sneak of a division of American sentiment relating to our foreign -affairs. One must be an American first and a parti san afterwards, though we believe Republi canism Is the culture of highest American Ism. But It must be said, for the truth's sake and clearer understanding, we have hungered In vain for that unflinching Amer cants. at Washington which is needed to exalt the American soul. There is no geo graphic modification of American rights. They are the same in Mexico that they are on the hlrh seas, thev are the same in bu rope that they are in Asia, and are sacred everywhere, and the American spirit de mands their fullest protection., Non-interference- Assailed. Whatever the ultimate solution may be, history will write Mexico as the title) to the humiliating recital of the greatest fiasco in our foreign relations. Uncertainty, In 'stability. Mexican contempt and waning self-respect will be recorded In every chap ter, and the pitiable story of sacrificed American Uvea and the destruction of law-fully-held American property will empha size the mistaken policy of watchful wait itir anH nnhhlin warfare. Under the pretext of non-interference, the Democratic Administration encouraged revo lution, and the cost of American sacrifices was charred to neeaiess war on nueria. where the real American expenditure re quired only the voice of authority demanding protection to American rignta. i no un biased critic will recite that the Democratic Administration first coddled vuia as natrint. iVicti chased him as a bandit. Our civilization has evolved the rules f right conduct, nd written them into forms of government by law. They were conceived In justice and developed In righteousness. They have become Instinctive In our Ameri can life, and are cherished as a part of our people's inheritance. Our people do not understand any suspension, they are Impelled to march on. confident, and unafraid. When the spirit of American accomplishment, or the mercies of American ministration, or the inclinations of American teaching, or the adventures of American development take our people abroad, under the compacts of civilization, they have a right to believe that every guaranty of American citizen ship goes with them. When It does not, we have forfeited the American inheritance. No political party can draw a variable chart for our ship of state amid Europe's warring ambitions, lust for power or, battles for self-preservation. Justice points the way through the safe channel of neutrality. There are dangers, seeming or real, looming on every side, but we should feel secure along the course marked by International law and our own conscientious convictions of American rights. "Straight ahead" shall be the command and when peace comes the sober judgment of the world will exalt us ever Mg.ier and higher as a people strong in heart and noble in the espousal of Jus tice and justice's humanity. In that world wide respect and confidence which needs only to be preserved, we shall have a lofty place In the great reconstruction, and we reasonably may hope to aee this mighty re public again ministering to the re-establishment of peace and ail its precious blessings. My countrymen. Americanism begins at home and radiates abroad. The Republican conception give the first thought to a free peopU and a fearless people, and bespeaks conditions at home for the highest human attainment. We believe In American mar kets for American products, American wages for American workmen, American opportun ity for American genius and industry, and American defense for American soil.

See This Clothing Industry A newspaper man startled us the other day by saying, "I didn't know you . made any clothes yourselves." "Horrors," we replied, "haven't you seen our Mill-to-Man clothing advertise ments ? Have we advertised in vain?" "Yes," he replied, "but so many of these clothing people in the past have claimed that they . made their own clothes, when, in fact, they send all of their orders East, and I thought it was only a custom among tailors and clothiers to talk about patronizing home industry in order to land trade." We immediately gave this gentle man a free elevator ride to our fourth floor, daylight, electric tailor shop, where a hundred contented tailors' are busy making clothes for good dressers in Oregon and several other Western states. We certainly did open his eyes to the size of this local clothing industry. He wondered how much business we are doing in Portland, and we again surprised him with 4he information that eighty per cent of our business comes from out side of this city. . "How is it," he replied, "that you do so much outside? Isn't Portland large enough to consume your entire output?" Here is where we made our big point by reminding him that he himself and a newspaper man, at that hadn't paid any attention to this local industry of ours. He thought all along that we were only "kidding" in our advertise ments about our big fourth-floor shops. r Have YOU ever been misled on the clothes topic?
